Her home was a large, dull, tall one, in a large, dull square, where all the houses were alike, and all the sparrows were alike, and where all the door-knockers made the same heavy sound, and on still days-and nearly all the days were still-seemed to resound through the entire row in which the knock was knocked. On Miss Minchin�������s door there was a brass plate. On the brass plate there was described in black letters, Miss Minchin�������s Select Seminary for Young Ladies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
